Sphera by Stellar Hotels Yerevan

Hotel meeting the expectations. There was no wow-effect while staying there. The security bolt at the door was missing. The AC was unable to cool the room down below 27°C during the sunny day we had on our arrival. Walking distance from the train station. To the southern end of the center (republic square) it's about a 45 minutes walk. In breakfast only the filter coffee is included, for all other types of coffee there's a menu, subject to additional charges. The parking in front of the hotel is the normal, non dedicated street parking. It's on a first-come-first-served basis.

Could be such a better stay. I will start with the good parts: - new - clean - pleasant smell in both lobby and corridors - admirable equipped gym, plus it's kept quite clean and odour free Now for the annoying parts: - the major one is the breakfast; not at all as advertised on the elevator pictures and most likely as advertised on travel sites. It's small, poor quality, unvaried, only pork cold cuts ( I am not muslim), but it's good for others to know. Eggs requested on demand, brought wrongly done every morning and had to be sent back. - room amenities, such as slippers were not available for two days, the iron that was brought in the room had blackened plate, asked for another one, the one brought had the same issue. - room was cleaned but no amenities refilled, except the coffee pods. To he honest for the money spent and the type of room booked (King suite with balcony) I felt robbed. The problem is that whatever you asked for as treated as, either a favour done to us, or plain annoying request.

Rooms are clean. We faced a problem because water was leaking from side glass wall of shower cubicles letting the whole bathroom floor wet. Breakfast was also good. Only live counter for breakfast was for Omelettes.
